Crude wastewater enters the main outer chamber (1) where the initial settlement takes place, with the
heaviest solids sinking and the floating matter rising. The liquor from the main section is transferred to the central chamber (2) where it’s continuously aerated by the fine bubble diffuser (4)
which encourages bacteria to provide the second stage of treatment.

The mid-section of this treated effluent is then removed from the chamber through a calming pipe (5) which
allows a further brief settlement before discharge. (6)

The air compressor (7) runs continuously. It is contained within the neck of the tank and it’s accessible
for maintenance if required.
Easy access is available to both chambers for dislodging which is an annual operation.

How does it work?

The Balmoral Hydroclear system incorporates a full size three chamber design, i.e., primary settlement, aeration chamber and
final settlement.

Within the primary settlement chamber, large solids are removed by settlement flotation. An accumulation forms at the base of
the tank and is removed annually or biennially by desludging.

The clarified water then passes to the biological reactor where it is treated to remove the dissolved constituents. Mobile
media elements support large bacterial populations within the reaction chamber while induced air promotes complete mixing ensuring that full treatment is achieved.
